Whoa, that's quite a stone. Looks totally regular and clean, uniform shape, and even has flat-looking skin covering the whole bottom, just like Japanese love. Must have cost a bit! How hard and fine is it?

Just to add some explanations: why use Jnats???
See- this is a Shigefusa Kuroushi, i have specially finished 1 side with very fine Wa- Powder, you see the mirror, the other side quickly done with Ohira Uchigomori( fingerstone)- do i need to explain more?? .

Yes! No, just jokin' Good work on both, I think. Obviously you get a lot more from the knive with #2. #1 might as well be mono-steel.

No, Asteger!! These are 2 sides of same Shigefusa Kuroushi Petty, 1 side polished with Wa-Powder( synthetic) , the other side with Uchigomori! This is ONE knife, no monosteel, SAME!!
That's why i told- no need to discuss why to use or not to use Jnats- i wanted to show the difference, is better and easier to explain why is it so different.
This is about the stones, not about the knives.
